Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Information Report

Introduction

At Barrowford Primary School, our goal is to support every child in achieving their full potential. We take a proactive approach to guide children through their learning journey, ensuring they receive the support they need to succeed.

While quality teaching is at the core of our educational approach, we recognise that some children may require additional support to meet their targets.

What Is the Local Offer?

The Local Offer, developed by Lancashire, provides a comprehensive resource outlining the education, health, and social care provisions available for children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) or disabilities. This includes support for those with and without Education, Health, and Care (EHC) Plans.

According to the SEND Code of Practice (January 2015, para 4.1), the Local Offer sets out what local authorities expect to be available and includes provisions they believe will realistically be provided in the area.

What Will the Local Offer Do?

The Local Offer will:

• Provide clear, comprehensive, and up-to-date information about available services and how to access them.
• Respond to local needs and aspirations by involving children with SEN or disabilities, their families, young people, and service providers in its development and review (para 4.2, SEND Code of Practice 2015).

Key Principles of the Local Offer

The Local Offer should be:

• Collaborative: Developed with input from children, young people, parents, and service providers.
• Accessible: Easy to understand and navigate.
• Comprehensive: Covering all aspects of available support.
• Transparent: Clear about what is provided and how decisions are made.
